India ignores insults to Mahatma
by Bodhisattva Sengupta on Feb 10, 2006 12:23 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Bush insults Gandhi? I am not sure that he has the capability, and Gandhi would be the last person to take offence on that. He endured, to paraphrase a quote from Pierre Eliot Trudeau, 'worse insults from better people'.
On a second thought, are we, as Indians, true to Gandhi's path? Are we following his lessons in every walk of life? If not, then we are harming the Mahatma in a more sustained way than a mere premiere of a state?

Gandhi's path..what is that? I guess its Ahimsa..good to knw ppl like u still beleive in that. So by taking a lead from u..what India should do give up all N weapons...get rid of the military..and if someone comes knocking on our door...china or pakis...asking for kashmir or north east..we will say please brother take it..as neither we will have the strength nor the resolute..i feel we dnt owe our independence to Gandhi alone..there had been thousands other like bhagat singh, subhash chandra bose to name few. But yes gandhi got the milage and became father of the nation...there is a book by Neerod C Chowdhary on Gandhi ..if possible take a look at that.

cheerz
